The FBI released crime statistics last year showing that no murders occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012 – the Sandy Hook Shooting – despite the media reporting that numerous schoolchildren and faculty were killed that December.
Why would the FBI release such a report? Did nobody in the process of publishing this material take notice that they were reporting no deaths for this event?

I read somewhere that teacher supposedly killed in there, was injured in Boston marathon’s boming. Backed up with pictures.
I blame Obama. F you haters. Come and take them!!!!
The FBI only consolidates what local officials report to them. (This used to be among my duties for a major police department in NYC.) So, if the FBI report is off by 27 murders (I checked it, and there are no murders reported in Newtown, CT for 2012). You can check it, too, yourself if you follow the link here….

Or Google it if you don’t trust my link (that’s what I did).
The real question is “Why didn’t LOCAL law enforcement report the Newtown massacre murders properly for 2012 to the FBI?” (If the FBI receives a report of ZERO murders for a year, then they report ZERO murders for a year). I don’t think the FBI (which does this for EVERY local law enforcement agency in the U.S. messed this one up), but rather why didn’t Newtown report in a timely way? Maybe it was just a SNAFU where the local authorities believed they did not have jurisdiction to report for some legitimate reason?
I don’t know, and the previous is obviously speculation, but if in my capacity for my former law enforcement agency, I failed to report 100% of the homicides for a year, then THAT surely would have been cause for some sort of investigation. For my part, it never would have slipped past the quality control checkpoints. I can’t begin to guess what kind of systemic foul-up it would take to omit 100% of the homicides for a locality from the FBI’s UCR. But, from what I can see, that’s what happened.
The FBI has NO DUTY to verify or validate crime statistics reported to them from and by local agencies. That being said, it’s a valid question to direct back to Newtown law enforcement officials. On the surface, it appears they messed up and omitted the homicides from the report to the FBI.
Edward Willard you were right!!!!!!!!! I told you! ‘Twas a conspiracy ! “”Crisis actors”” are the real thing man
It was done to further the gun control agenda. What further way to get ppl behind gun control than to tug at the heart strings by using the massacre of kindergarten and 1st graders!
i could tell it was f**e the first day!…..and no one ever questioned why all of yahoo chat was shut down that very day!
It was just a ploy to have our guns taken away, that’s all.
F**e
They all got new homes for hosting the staged event.
